<p>Use to set a folder to hold your Java classpath libraries or to hold references to those libraries. Setting a libraries folder makes it easier to share libraries among different users and projects.

<p>On the Actions page, you determine how each library is referenced. The simplest case is to have the libraries copied to that folder. You can also refer to the libraries in their existing location (with a relative path or an absolute path). If you have specified an existing folder, you also have the option of using copies of libraries that are already in that folder instead of the copies that are contained in the IDE's Ant Library Manager. For each library, the wizard tries to select the most suitable action.</p>
